Nancy got enough flak for spending money -- the GOPsters would have had a field day with the expense of any "porcelain palace" she might have requested. Tough it out, be a (wo)man.

But I'm sure Nancy Pelosi has her own private bathroom and wouldn't stoop (or squat) to use some shared bathroom.

Lazy thinking, sloppy thinking, negative halo effect fallacy, tsk tsk. Where would this hypothetical private bathroom be? Next to her office in the Cannon Office Building? A long hike from the House chambers.

I don't recall the GOP making a big deal about the nursing mothers' room that Pelosi did have installed in the House, something that has been mentioned in the more lengthly versions of the same AP article.

garage mahal:

It's already been well-reported that Boehner, who has previously flown commercial, says he's going to continue to do so.

Ah well, I suppose that when you don't have good arguments, pound the table.

Are there congresswomen suckling their children? Because at 70, Pelosi sure isn't. Although I could be wrong, the lactation room is not a benefit for Members of Congress.

Boehner, who has previously flown commercial, says he's going to continue to do so.

In this post-9/11 world, the phalanx of Secret Servicemen who would protect the person third in line for the Presidency would disrupt air travel for many Ohioans. I bet he abandons this policy as unworkable.
